3Dlabs Oxygen Upgrade Program is the story on November 11, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. 3Dlabs today announced the Oxygen Upgrade Program in the USA and Canada for existing users of any graphics board based on 3Dlabs chips, as well as all graphics accelerators manufactured by the former Dynamic Pictures. Under the terms of the program, customers will be able to purchase an award-winning Oxygen GMX or an Oxygen RPM board at a special discounted price upon the return of their existing 3Dlabs-based products before March 31, 1999.
The upgrade price for the Oxygen GMX will be $1,599 compared to a suggested list price of $2,299, a savings of $700; and the upgrade price for the Oxygen RPM will be $999 compared to a suggested list price of $1,499, a savings of $500. Drivers and hardware updates are not glamorous, but when they fix a game or unlock a card you already paid for, they matter.
